Squid with Onion and Garlic

An original appetizer for seafood lovers! My mom lives 3,000 miles away, and we call each other often — among other things, we swap recipes for whatever new dish we've tried. Last week she told me about fried squid. It sounded really interesting and probably delicious, so I made it without a second thought and, I have to say, didn't regret it. Here's how to put this appetizer together.

Start with frozen squid: put it in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Once the squid has thawed, drain and clean it, then rinse well under cold running water. Peel the onions, slice them into half-rings, and fry in vegetable oil for about 10 minutes. A few minutes before the onions are done, add the garlic sliced into thin slivers. Next, add the squid cut into thin rings, salt to taste, and toss everything together thoroughly. Fry over high heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes, then take it off the heat right away and cover with a lid. Let the dish rest so the flavors settle, and it's ready to serve!
